In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship. Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.

It's even sadder now that we have Latinos wearing ICE uniforms physically abusing people who are just like them. It's like watching Jews violently rounding up other Jews to send to the Nazi death camps.

In a plea deal in Dec 2024, Smirnov admitted to completely fabricating the conspiracy that became central to a GOP effort to impeach then-President Joe Biden. Days later, the Russian asset pleaded guilty to four felony charges, including one count of obstruction, and was sentenced to six years.

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else. Republicans said no. So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS. Republicans OWN this shutdown.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.
